Do you recycle your food waste?


During February 2017, Maidstone residents will see a sticker appear on their rubbish bin encouraging them to remember to use the food recycling service.


It is anticipated that around 5,775 tonnes of food waste is being disposed of every year in residents’ rubbish bins but the majority of this is totally avoidable as we offer a weekly food recycling service so we would like to encourage more people to take part.


Recycling food waste is important. Rather than simply throwing it in the rubbish bin, it could instead be composted and used as a soil improver on local farms.


Using the food recycling service will also give you more space in your rubbish bin for any other waste which cannot be recycled or composted. Plus we collect food recycling every week.
